Real Madrid are now the most
successful club of all time.
The La Liga champions have
overtaken their El-Clasico rivals, Barcelona, who previously held the title
with their many trophies including 24 La Liga titles, 29 Copa Del Reys and five
European Cups.
But after FIFA said it officially
recognised the winners of the Intercontinental Cup, which was staged between
1960 and 2004 as club world champions, Real overtook the Catalans.
The Santiago Bernabeu side won
the now defunct tournament in 1960, 1998 and 2002, beating Penarol, Vasco De
Gama and Olimpia respectively.
Los Blancos have 33 Spanish
league titles, 19 Copa Del Rey crowns and 12 European Cup championships to go
along side their world titles.
Earlier this week, Manchester
United were retrospectively named world club champions for their 1-0 victory
over Palmeiras in 1999.
